April 26, 200422 yr 27,977 :confused If a stadium deal doesnt get done attendance might decease to 10,000 per game
April 26, 200422 yr D00d. It's a late SUNDAY school and work night game. Close to 30,000 is pretty damn good. Last year we probably would have had 18,000.
April 26, 200422 yr 30000 isn't bad. Oh, 28000, well that's a bad sign because I can't imagine what it would have been if Pavano or Oliver were pitchign and ESPN wasn't there.

Then the game would have been at 3:05 pm and parents could have brought their kids and working people would have had a chance to attend without losing a night's sleep so you never know. Without checking I believe we drew over 100,000 for the weekend series which is good attendance in almost any park in baseball.
April 26, 200422 yr 27,977 :confused If a stadium deal doesnt get done attendance might decease to 10,000 per game Fans come to the ball park to have fun and cheer the team on. The reasons attendance is up so well this year: 1) We are the World Series Champs with a chance to defend the title 2) The team is off to a good start 3) They are fun to watch and 4) for this series, it's the Braves...and they always draw well. If a stadium deal falls through, we may see a drop in attendance...but nowhere near what you are showing....perhaps 10-15% that's all.
April 26, 200422 yr Always keep in mind, folks, that it's the team on the field that keeps the crowd coming. Things like scheduling hassles are a factor, but by a difference of +/- 2 to 6 thousand in paid attendance. In other words, a sucky a$$ team and a non-committment to win on the part of the FO will guarantee (unless you're the Cubs ) that people stay away. We don't have that right now, right? What's actually killing this team is that the previous owner agreed to H-Bomb's lease terms, not a couple of thousand staying away here and there.

April 26, 200422 yr Through 9 home dates, average attendance is 31,411. Through 9 games last year, the average attendance was 16,862.

April 26, 200422 yr A lot of fans had signs asking for a new stadium. :thumbup haha I saw that....thought it was great!!! I also like the way the Marlins are even getting their cheerleaders to get involved with the crowd...Heres a pic with a couple of the cheerleaders...pretty cool.

Hope this guys wife doesn't see this pic lol . I am very impressed with the attendance. Any time it is hard to see Orange in the stands I am a happy camper
April 26, 200422 yr Also tell me three-four years ago when the attendance was at its all time worst averaging like 12,000 a game if the Marlins were lucky...would you have imagined through 9 home dates having such a good average. This has been a lot quicker turn around than I ever expected.
April 27, 200422 yr oh yeah.. I know pudge isnt very liked here...but i wear his jersey proudly....he helped get us our Title of WORLD CHAMPIONS...i refuse to forget
